Lyrics are as follows: I thought I just wanted to pass; Good grades were all I cared for. My college made me take the class More stuff for me to ignore! But then I found out that His theories weren’t so bad: Labor and class combat, What a very clever man!
CHORUS I read some Marx, and I liked it; The friend of the proletariat. I read some Marx, just to try it; Hope Adam Smith don’t mind it! It felt so wrong, It felt so right; Men of the working class, unite! I read some Marx, and I liked it; I liked it! There is a spectre hanging o’er The face of Europe! ‘Tis communism, and it’s more Than just a social hiccup. A time will come soon when The masses rise as one To carve out their place in The brand new poetry to come! CHORUS Marx is the man, he’s working for you; The bourgeoisie, they just ain’t your crew. Alienation of labor is bad, Commodification is not a good fad. The capitalists are greedy you see; A shorter workday, now that’s what we need! I’m reading some Marx, and I’m liking it; Rise up now, proletariat!
Message from Mr. Housiaux: This would be a very worthy final project! Galtung, Marx and others. Can anyone pull this off? (Sosha: I could art about this.)
Yet another knee-slapper:
Q: How many Marxists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None; the seeds of revolution are in the light bulb itself.
Dear communism,You looked better on paper.Sincerely, Marx.
this was from http://youbentmywookie.com/wtf/karl-marx-themed-parody-of-katy-perrys-i-kissed-a-girl-9936 it is based off of Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl and I liked it. It surprisingly touches on many of the themes discussed in class.
Lyrics are as follows:
I thought I just wanted to pass;
Good grades were all I cared for.
My college made me take the class
More stuff for me to ignore!
But then I found out that
His theories weren’t so bad:
Labor and class combat,
What a very clever man!
CHORUS
I read some Marx, and I liked it;
The friend of the proletariat.
I read some Marx, just to try it;
Hope Adam Smith don’t mind it!
It felt so wrong,
It felt so right;
Men of the working class, unite!
I read some Marx, and I liked it;
I liked it!
There is a spectre hanging o’er
The face of Europe!
‘Tis communism, and it’s more
Than just a social hiccup.
A time will come soon when
The masses rise as one
To carve out their place in
The brand new poetry to come!
CHORUS
Marx is the man, he’s working for you;
The bourgeoisie, they just ain’t your crew.
Alienation of labor is bad,
Commodification is not a good fad.
The capitalists are greedy you see;
A shorter workday, now that’s what we need!
I’m reading some Marx, and I’m liking it;
Rise up now, proletariat!
CHORUS
Also: Why did the chicken cross the road?
It was a historical inevitability.
